Today I want to introduce you to Nina, who is creating a Kitchy World. An architect, interior designer, founder of Vintage Vikend and a lover of all the pretty things. Her blog got my attention, because it's one of the few In Slovenia, where you can find blog posts about interior design. You will be impressed by photos of beautiful interiors, useful tips on how to decorate and organize your home, in addition, she writes also about fashion, travels and beauty. Nina, welcome to my blog! :)

There are a few more days until Christmas, so I was wondering, when do you usually get in the holiday spirit? When do you start decorating for Christmas at your home?

I don't celebrate Christmas - we got presents fromDedek Mraz - so I have a little more time to prepare for this festive fever and to buy presents. But I like to decorate my home in the beginning of December, because I love the smell of the spruce and the lighting of the holiday lights.

How did you decorate for Christmas this year?

I wish I could say that I'm very creative when it comes to decorating for holidays, but the truth is that I run out of time every year. I bring my Christmas tree out of the basement and I decorate it with the ornaments I made in high school. This year I completed this annual classic with some empty bottles, evergreen twigs and tiny white holiday lights.

Do you choose the same colours and decorations every year or do you prefer to experiment with different ones?

I'm very classically oriented when it comes to holiday decorations. I like the traditional red - gold - green combination, and I still didn't get tired of it.

Which room do you focus the most on? Do you decorate all the rooms in your apartment/house or do you focus only on the living area?

I don't exaggerate when I'm decorating. I put up a Christmas tree, I hang a wreath on the door and I set up some decorations on the piano. I believe that the decorations shouldn't override the room, they should just highlight it subtly.

How do you prepare for the holiday season as a blogger? What kind of blog posts can we find on your blog these days?

My blog posts are quite festively themed these days. This week I'm preparing one about table decoration for a holiday dinner and one about holiday cocktails, which will undoubtedly enrich social evening events.

In the end, do you have a special message or a nice thought, you'd like to share?

I don't know. December is a time full of clichés and big promises, that I personally prefer to avoid. But I want that people would be more tolerant and understanding of each other.

Nina je odgovarjala v slovenščini, angleški prevod sem se trudila napisati jaz, zato lahko pride do manjših odstopanj in napak. // Nina sent me her answers in Slovene, I tried to translate them, so there can be minor differences in the text and some mistakes.
